Definitions

  • the disclosure generally relates to electric vehicles.
  • Electric vehicles are growing in popularity as society becomes more and more concerned about carbon emissions and sustainable/renewable energy sources. Electric vehicles operate using electric power stored in one or more batteries. During operation, the stored electrical energy is controllably released to drive an electric motor. The electric motor converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy, which propels the vehicle. As electric vehicles become more common, the supporting infrastructure continues to grow. For example, charging stations are being built with electrical connectors for charging electric vehicle batteries. These charging stations may be located at stores, traditional gas stations, places of interest (e.g., museums, parks), at meter maids, etc. The process of charging an electric vehicle battery may take time, which enables drivers and passengers to buy products in a neighboring convenience stores, walk around, etc. While the driver and/or passengers relax, shop, etc. they may not be aware when the battery is charged, or when the battery contains enough charge to continue on the trip.
  • the embodiments discussed below include a power indicator system that enables a driver to visually determine a battery condition (e.g., charge level, time to full charge) when outside of their vehicle.
  • the power indicator system displays the battery condition with an external power indicator.
  • the external power indicator may be a display such as a heads up display on one of the windows of the vehicle or a separate display on another part of the vehicle.
  • the external power indicator may include one or more lights that indicate the battery condition.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of an embodiment of electric vehicles 10 charging at a charging station 12. While the electric vehicles 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 are cars, the term electric vehicles may include cars, trucks, motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, buses, etc. Electric vehicles store electrical energy in an onboard battery or batteries. In operation, electric vehicles release electrical energy stored in the battery to drive an electric motor. The electric motor converts the electrical energy into mechanical energy, which then propels the vehicle. As the electric motor draws electrical energy from the battery, the battery loses power and is eventually unable to sustain operation of the electric motor. In order to recharge the battery, the electric vehicle 10 couples to a power source, such as at a charging station 12, at home, on a street, parking lots, and other locations.
  • a power source such as at a charging station 12, at home, on a street, parking lots, and other locations.
  • the electric vehicles 10 includes a power indicator system 14 capable of externally displaying battery information so that a driver can check the battery status without climbing into and/or turning the vehicle on.
  • the power indicator system 14 may provide information such as current power level, time to full charge, time to charge the battery to a specific charge level, or a combination thereof. This enables a driver and/or passenger to quickly determine the battery status of the vehicle 10.
  • the power indicator system 14 includes a controller 15 that controls operation of one or more external indicators 16 (e.g., display 18, lights 22) using feedback from one or more sensors 17.
  • the sensor(s) 17 detects the charge of the battery, which the controller 15 uses to determine changes in battery charge.
  • the controller 15 includes one or more processors 19 that execute instructions stored on one or more memories 21 based on the detected battery charge and/or change in battery charge.
  • the displays 18 may be heads-up displays that create an image on one or more windows 20 of the electric vehicle 10. In FIG. 1 , the vehicle 10 on the left includes a display 18 on the front windshield 20 while the vehicle 10 on the right includes a display on the rear window 20.
  • each window 20 may include multiple displays 18 (e.g., one display 18 shows time elapsed since charging began, one display 18 show the battery condition, and another display 18 shows a countdown until fully charged).
  • the displays 18 may also be located on the vehicles 10 in locations other than on the windows.
  • one or more displays 18 may be located on the body of the vehicle 10 (e.g., hood, side, doors, roof, tail/trunk), on the side mirrors, etc.
  • the vehicle 10 may include a display 18 next to a charging port 24.
  • the power indicator system 14 may use lights 22 to communicate battery information to the driver. These lights 22 are similarly controlled by the controller 15 with the processor(s) 19 executing instructions stored on the memory/memories 21. In some embodiments, the lights 22 may operate in combination with the displays 18 or alone.
  • the lights 22 may include lights that are traditionally on vehicles such as headlights, taillights, brake lights, fog lights, turn signal lights, etc. These traditional lights 22 have specific colors such as red for brake lights, orange for turn signals, and white for headlights. However, while charging the electric vehicle 10 these lights 22 may emit a different color. For example, these lights 22 may emit a color indicative of the charge contained in the battery 26.
  • one or more lights on the vehicle 10 may emit a red color (e.g., headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights may all emit the color red). If the battery charge is between 20-60%, the lights may emit an orange color (e.g., headlights, taillights, turn signal lights may all emit the color orange). If the battery 26 has a charge between 60-80%, the lights may emit a green color (e.g., headlights, taillights, turn signal lights may all emit the color green). And if the battery 26 has a charge between 80-100% the lights may emit a blue color (e.g., headlights, taillights, turn signal lights may all emit the color blue).
  • the colors associated with these ranges may differ and may include additional colors for additional ranges. For example, colors such as purple, pink, turquoise, etc. may be used in lieu of or in combination with the colors discussed above.
  • the intensity of the light 22 may increase or decrease depending on the battery charge. For example, if the range of 20-40% battery charge is represented by the color orange, the intensity of the orange may decrease the closer the charge is to 40%. In some embodiments the exact opposite may occur, that is the intensity of the orange may increase the closer the charge is to 40%.
  • the lights 22 may be constantly on while charging to facilitate quick and easy recognition of the battery charge or they may periodically flash. For example, the lights may flash every 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 seconds, etc. The lights 22 may also flash in intervals (e.g., 3 flashes every 5 seconds). In some embodiments, the lights 22 may only flash during the day and remain constantly on at night in order to avoid disturbing/surprising neighboring traffic at night.
  • lights 22 may be have a specific shape unique to the vehicle 10.
  • the lights 22 may be formed into a company logo (e.g., Thunder Power symbol).
  • the vehicle 10 on the left includes lights 22 that are in concentric oval or circular rings 28.
  • the lights 22 in these rings 28 may all emit the same color, which corresponds to a specific battery charge range. These lights 22 may change as the battery charge changes. To differentiate within the range, the lights 22 in the rings 28 may emit a more intense shade of the color (e.g., green, blue, orange, yellow, red, etc.).
  • all the lights 22 in the rings 28 may increase in intensity or some of the lights 22 may change in intensity (e.g., the lights 22 in the rings 28 may increase in intensity from the outermost ring 28 to the inner most ring 28 as the battery charge changes within a range, or the lights 22 in the rings 28 may increase in intensity from the innermost ring 28 to the outermost ring 28 as the battery charge changes within a range).
  • each ring 28 may be turned on to differentiate within the range.
  • each ring 28 may represent a percentage within the range, and as the battery charges within the range the controller 15 progressively turns on more rings 28 (e.g., each ring may represent 5% charge).
  • each ring 28 may emit a specific color that corresponds to a battery charge range (e.g., outermost ring is blue while the innermost ring is red). Accordingly, the amount of battery charge may determine which rings 28 are turned on and what color it is.
  • the power indicator system 14 may determine if the battery 26 has enough charge to reach the destination(s) and/or how much additional charge is necessary. To do so, the controller 15 may receive an intended destination(s) by the driver or passenger through an interface in the vehicle 10 (e.g., a touchscreen) and/or through a portable electronic device (e.g., a cellphone, watch, laptop, tablet, etc.). The controller 15 may then communicate with a GPS unit in the controller 15 or otherwise coupled to the controller 15 to determine the present location of the vehicle 10.
  • an interface in the vehicle 10 e.g., a touchscreen
  • a portable electronic device e.g., a cellphone, watch, laptop, tablet, etc.
  • the controller 15 may determine the distance(s), projected drive time to reach the destination(s), amount of battery charge needed to reach the destination(s), etc. The controller 15 may then compare the amount of charge needed to reach the destination(s) with the current charge in the battery 26.
  • the controller 15 controls the displays 18 and/or lights 22 to inform the driver that the vehicle 10 is ready to go.
  • display(s) 18 may provide a written message (e.g., "Ready,” “All Set To Go") and/or a symbol (e.g., thumbs up, smiley face, picture of the destination, check mark).
  • the display 18 may provide a written message (e.g., "Charging") and/or a symbol (e.g., a countdown until the charged, warning symbol).
  • the lights 22 may also indicate whether the vehicle 10 is capable of reaching the intended destination(s). For example, the lights 22 may flash (e.g., flash a specific color, certain number of times, or a combination thereof), remain a constant color, emit a color not associated with the charging scale (e.g., purple, pink, etc.), emit a plurality of colors (e.g., lights 22 having different colors may all turn on), etc., when the vehicle 10 is capable of reaching the destination(s). If the vehicle 10 is unable to reach the destination, the lights 22 may remain a specific color (e.g., red) and/or flash a specific color (e.g., red) until the battery 26 is sufficiently charged to reach the intended destination.
  • a specific color e.g., red
  • a specific color e.g., red
  • the controller 15 may not trigger the displays 18 and/or lights 22 to indicate that the vehicle 10 is capable of reach the intended destination(s), until the battery 26 has reached a charge level above a threshold battery charge level needed to reach the destination(s). For example, the controller 15 may wait until the battery charge is 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or greater than the threshold amount of charge needed to reach the destination(s) before indicating with the displays 18 and/or lights 22 that the vehicle 10 can reach the destination(s). By charging the battery 26 above the threshold level, additional charge is available to power the vehicle 10 during unintentional delays (e.g., traffic jams, wrong turns). In some embodiments, the controller 15 may stop the charging process once the desired charge is reached to prevent additional fees for charging the vehicle 10 (e.g., when charging away from home).
  • the controller 15 may stop the charging process once the desired charge is reached to prevent additional fees for charging the vehicle 10 (e.g., when charging away from home).
  • the vehicle 10 may also transmit a wireless message to the driver and/or passenger that indicates the battery status, time left until fully charged, whether the battery is charged enough to reach a desired destination(s), or a combination thereof.
  • the message may include symbols, words, or a combination thereof.
  • the controller 15 may couple to a transmitter 30 capable of transmitting the message to an electronic device 32 (e.g., a cellphone, laptop, tablet, watch, electronic wristband, key fob) held or worn by the driver and/or passengers.
  • the transmitter 30 may be capable of communicating with cellphone towers 34, and/or able to broadcast another type of wireless signal (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile satellite communications, infrared) to the electronic device 32.
  • the driver may have a key fob capable of locking/unlocking the car, arming/disarming an alarm, as well as receive and display battery status updates.
  • the key fob may display the battery status with lights 22 and/or a display 18.
  • the vehicle 10 may automatically push these updates (e.g., send every second, 10 seconds, minute, half-hour, hour) to the key fob.
  • the vehicle 10 may send the update automatically when the battery 26 is charging, and/or anytime in response to a request from the key fob (e.g., the driver pushes a button on the key fob that transmits a signal requesting a battery status update).
  • FIG. 2 is an embodiment of a display 18 that displays a condition of an electric vehicle battery 26.
  • the display 18 may be a heads-up display or another kind of display (e.g., LED, OLED, LCD, PLASMA, etc.).
  • the display 18 creates bars 50 that represent a percentage of the complete charge of the battery 26.
  • additional bars 50 fill to represent the battery charge. While seven bars 50 are illustrated, other embodiments may have different numbers of bars 50 (e.g., 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 50, 100, etc.).
  • the bars 50 may change in color (e.g., change from red to orange to yellow to green to blue) as the battery 26 charges.
  • all the bars 50 may change in color or some of the bars 50 may change in color.
